HOW TO CREATE JUMP BREAKS IN A GOOGLE BLOGGER POST



HOW TO CREATE JUMP BREAKS IN A GOOGLE BLOGGER POST
(How to make your post shorter by taking it to a second page after clicking “continue reading” or “read more”)
The Jump break is a feature in google blogger which lets you formulate expandable post summaries in your blog posts editing panel, so longer posts appear as an intro with a link to Read More or continue reading.
Creating jump breaks in your blog posts can be easily done right from the Post Editor panel, without the need for any HTML changes.
STEPS TO CREATING THE JUMP BREAKS
(1)        Check or decide where in the post you want to create the jump break, and place your cursor in that position:







(2)        Once your mouse cursor is placed at the jump point, simply click the Insert Jump Break toolbar icon and see the two parallel grey lines that appears at the position illustrating where in the post your break will appear. The bar lines can be dragged though, so you can always re-position it after insertion if you want.



(3)        Once you decide on the jump break's location within the post, you're ready to publish your post. After publishing, you'll notice that the Read More link is placed where you set the jump break. Clicking on the Read More link will then display the full text of the post for you visitors to read more.
(4)        If you feel like changing the Read More text to your own custom phrase, you can easily do this from the Layout tab by Clicking Edit on the Blog Post widget, and then change the Post page link text to whatever you'd like. For instance “continue reading” “next page”
The Jump Break feature doesn't change how your post appears in your feed. You can configure post feed options by going to Settings | Basic | Other, and editing Allow Blog Feed.
